JHU offers several medical plan options for you and your family, each of which includes prescription drug coverage. The plans vary in terms of cost, coverage, and providers you’re able to see, and eligibility varies based on your employment status.
If you don’t have medical coverage elsewhere, you must select one of JHU’s medical plans. If you are covered under another plan, you may waive medical coverage by submitting a medical waiver, available on the myChoices Health & Life portal.
JHU offers medical benefits to full-time, part-time, and limited-time members of the university’s faculty and staff, and to LIUNA bargaining unit members, and their eligible dependents.
We offer a variety of medical plan options, including a preferred provider organization (PPO) plan, a point-of-service (POS) plan, a high deductible health (HDHP) plan, and a health maintenance organization (HMO), for our full-time, part-time, and limited-time faculty and staff, and for LIUNA bargaining unit members. Your plan options depend on your employment status.
